Jan Molby vs Peter Shilton. No this isn’t from the 1980s, but a Third Division clash between Swansea City and Leyton Orient in 1997. Here, the 33 year old player/manager takes a glorious free-kick against the 47 year old keeper. Still got it.

It’s 32 years to the day since a nineteen-year-old Irish lad scored this belter from outside the box at Carrow Road. Six months earlier, he had cost Forest just £47,000 from Cobh Ramblers. His name was Roy Keane. Looks a player, him. 🇮🇪

The opening to BBC Sportsnight from today in 1994. Hearing that classic theme tune as a boy meant I was up way past my bedtime. Here, Des Lynam introduces the evening’s FA Cup replays, along with features on the biggest names in sport. Brilliant show.

It’s 19 years to the day since Des Lynam’s last moments as a football presenter, at the final of Euro 2004. Here he’s professional until the end, but has a glint of sadness in his eyes as time forces him to cut the broadcast short. The end of an era. ❤️

Today marks 22 years since Brian Moore passed away. This was ITV’s moving tribute to him shortly after his death. He will always be remembered as one of the greatest football commentators/presenters we’ve ever had. A true gentleman of the game. ❤️

Today marks 25 years since Vinnie Jones put this early reducer on Paul Ince in the first match of the season. No rolling around on the floor from the Liverpool skipper here. Just pick yourself and get on with the game. Old school.

It’s 27 years to the day since Chris Sutton’s lovely bit of gamesmanship at Highbury. Arsenal get the ball back after an injury, but Sutton forces a corner, which leads to a last minute Blackburn equaliser. No rules broken, so nothing to see here…

On Stuart Pearce’s 62nd birthday, a reminder of his final match as a player in 2002. Stuck on 99 career goals, an injury time penalty is given at Maine Road. Dave Beasant even tells Pearce he’s going to stand still. The scene is set to retire in style…

Classic Saint & Greavsie clip from today in 1988. Here, Brian Clough defends the Football League president Phillip Carter, and invents a new word in the process. Back in the studio, Jimmy Greaves gets his dictionary out with hilarious results.

The intro to Gazzetta Football Italia, from this day in 1995. Featuring that changing Channel 4 symbol, the instantly recognisable theme music, Gianluca Vialli, Kenneth Wolstenholme and of course James Richardson. Pure class. 🇮🇹

England vs Ireland from today in 1991, and a period of play which sums up perfectly the Jack Charlton philosophy. With the home side penned in their own box, here’s two relentless minutes of long ball, pressing, direct football. Put ‘em under pressure.

On this day in 1992, a whole new ball game was kicking off on Sky, but as a consequence there was no Saint & Greavsie on ITV for the opening day of the season. It left a Saturday lunchtime football void which has never really been filled since. They were of two a kind.

On the anniversary of Billy Bremner’s death, here he is at Jack Charlton’s Republic Of Ireland tribute night in 1996, unable to contain his disgust at being forced to sit next to Geoff Hurst. They don’t make them like Bremner anymore. 😂🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Today marks 32 years since this Tony Cascarino equaliser against England at Lansdowne Road. But listen to Brian Moore’s commentary here. He says nothing for 17 seconds after the ball goes in, instead letting the audience at home take in the scenes from the crowd. Expertly done.

Incredible TFI Friday clip from this week in 1998 - a month before the World Cup. To keep him out of trouble, Chris Evans jokingly sends Paul Gascoigne into a safe-keeping box until the tournament starts. Just imagine Glenn Hoddle seeing this…

As the end is now near for Soccer AM, a reminder of Sky’s promo for the show at the start of the 1997/98 season. With Helen Chamberlain and Tim Lovejoy in their absolute pomp, it was utterly unmissable back then.
